VHS Movie Reviews of Indian Paint

Movie Review: Indian Paint
Summary: 3 Stars

The audio is not in sync with the video; this detracts from this video. Are all copies like this or did I purchase a bad one? I purchased through Amazon from an independent supplier.

Movie Review: Pleasant but inconsequential Western
Summary: 3 Stars

Indian Paint is almost unique among Westerns in that it is wholly populated by Native American characters -although most are played by white actors.The movie contains only Native Americans and there are no references anywhere to white leaving me to speculate it may be set at a time before the opening up of the West .
Native American life in this picture does have a timeless quality and feel -as if the rituals and observances we see have been going on for generations and will survive into the future .There is a strong reverence for tradition in the feel of the picture which is in essence a "rites of passage " tale .Nichko (Johnny Crawford )is the son of the chief (Jay Silverheels)and the movie is about his growth to manhood ,partly through rituals such as the Sundance ceremony(much less graphic here than when shown in A Man Called Horse )but mostly through the learning of responsibility and the importance of sacrifice and the community values of the tribe .
The bulk of the story deals with Nichko'd taming of a colt who he marks out from childhood as his own ;there are battles with nearby tribes and the usual slew of perils in such movies including wild animals (coyotes and mountain lions )and natural hazards like fire .
It is good to look at with some fine location photography but the storyline is a bit thin and only Silverheels give more than an adequate performance
Its still a good movie with its overtones of other horse themed pictures like Seabiscuit or National Velvet ;a minor pleasure but nonetheless still a pleasure

Movie Review: I liked it
Summary: 4 Stars

Little known 1965 movie starring Johnny Crawford (Rifleman) and Robert Crawford (Laramie) after their series were over.. also Jay Silverheels (Tonto); nice photography and details; good for kids from 10 up

Movie Review: i did not like it
Summary: 1 Stars
